Thread and Frost

Ready to read

A court seamstress is drafted into a political marriage with the winter court's war-prince after it's discovered her needlework can bind living oaths into cloth. She learns that every garment she finishes ties a piece of her own lifespan to whoever wears it, and must choose between finishing his war-cloak to secure her sister's place inside the walls, or refusing the last seam and letting it fail on the battlefield.
